A spectacular sunset may be in the cards for N.J. tonight so get to your favorite spot

Smoke from raging wildfires in Canada was expected to reach New Jersey on Friday, bringing with it the chance for a super vivid sunset.

A forecast map from the National Weather Service’s Buffalo, New York, office showed smoke from the fires in Canada’s Alberta province passing over Pennsylvania and into portions of New Jersey through 6 p.m.

“I would not expect anybody to be able to sense it at the ground. But it’ll dull the skies (not as crisp a blue) and probably make the sunset more colorful (redder and oranger),” Jon Nese, associate head of the undergraduate program in meteorology at Penn State University, said in an email.

It's a little smokey out there this morning. (It's foggy in a few places too.) Here's a forecast of the smoke movement through 6PM today. pic.twitter.com/eaCrusv3Gy

There were no major air quality alerts for the region, according to AirNow, a federal government website.

If you notice the sky looks hazy today, here's your reason why: smoke from wildfires across northern Canada has once again been transported down into the upper Midwest. Should make for a nice sunrise/sunset!#mnwx#wiwxpic.twitter.com/Gcb22P3rYF

The Chuckegg Creek wildfire in the High Level Forest Area experienced extreme fire behaviour yesterday with significant growth to the south towards Paddle Prairie, across Highway 35 by Highway 697 and spotted across the Peace River.
